Artist and Title still streaming even though metadata is blank and everything is deselected

[Jasminerose73]

Bug Description

I currently do not have any information in the Metadata section - no words for format, “use static artist and title, dynamically update Ogg Vorbis metadata, and use UTF-8 encoding for metadata” are all unchecked. It still streams my artists/titles, though.

I am trying to stop any metadata from streaming

Version

2.3.2

OS

Windows 10

Have you tried checking "Use static artist and title" and leave the respective fields empty?
Should do exactly what you want. The metadat is updated only once at the beginngin.

FWIW metadata is set here

mixxx/src/engine/sidechain/shoutconnection.cpp

Lines 883 to 901 in af08fd1

     // Otherwise we might use static metadata 
     // If we use static metadata, we only need to call the following line once 
     if (m_custom_metadata && !m_firstCall) { 
  
         // see comment above... 
         if (!m_format_is_mp3 && m_protocol_is_icecast2) { 
         	setFunctionCode(12); 
             insertMetaData("artist", encodeString(m_customArtist).constData()); 
             insertMetaData("title", encodeString(m_customTitle).constData()); 
         } else { 
             QByteArray baCustomSong = encodeString(m_customArtist.isEmpty() ? m_customTitle : m_customArtist + " - " + m_customTitle); 
             insertMetaData("song", baCustomSong.constData()); 
         } 
  
         setFunctionCode(13); 
         shout_set_metadata(m_pShout, m_pShoutMetaData); 
         m_firstCall = true; 
     } 
 }

Oh I just noticed you're using Mixxx 2.3.2
That version is outdated and does not receive support or bugfixes anymore.
Please update to 2.4 and try again.

oh, there is also #13345 filed for 2.4

We (two users) verified that it's working as expected with Mixxx 2.4.1, at least if "static" is checked with empty boxes for artist + title.
Just now I also verified it's working if "static" is unchecked and the "metadata" field is empty.
